Guiding Condominium Communities

to a Superior Condo Experience

"When you buy a condo, you are buying shares in a corporation; the corporation will give you a place to live in exchange for your shares and just like in a public corporation, it has more than one shareholder who all have a say in how it is run."

Condominium Pre-Purchase Document Reviews
  • You're considering spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on a new home. A proper pre-purchase document review will save you thousands of dollars because condominium purchases are far more complicated than a single detached home.
  • We will make sure you have as much information as possible to make an informed purchasing decision, resolve issues and negotiate better terms before you buy with fewer costly surprises.
  • Many buyers are not aware of what it means to be a condominium owner and a proper review will provide a quick and beneficial education in an easy-to-understand report for any potential buyer.
we review the following doucments
puchase agreement
estoppel certificate
statement of claims
